What I have been doing, is to use the standard install procedure to get
the 386bsd partion created. Then I run the fixit disk and change the
disklabel partitioning to suit me. Then I maually move the stuff from
the dist.fs disk onto the disk.

Of course, it helps gretly if you got a second disk. In that case, use
the fixit disk to move the original installation to the second disk, and
then rdconfigiure the first.

The easiest way to get a second disk up, is to swith unit numbers and do
a pseudo-install on it...

I think, if you need detailed info, that Terry's got a very good
step-by-step description...
